Everything that this Bloomberg guy is putting out is so wholesome. Keep this stuff up. I gobble up this amazing content. Fascinating stuff!

[@adityakocherlakota5171]

This man really played all the side quests and DLCs

[@yipkk]

He lives his life to the fullest

[@StarCrusher.]

He really reminds me of John Hammond from Jurassic park. He spared no expenses.

[@diggisingh]

You can possibly engineer/science out of anything that you see around, Nathan just proves that

[@babagandu]

Yes

[@rlvsun]

When he said " my usual joke is..." this man is the real Sheldon Cooper.

[@zero64]

Dang. this guy's job is like my adhd dream

[@98Castaway]

He is a true polymath

[@adlirenhoren8795]

I hope Ashlee will write a book about Nathan Myhrvold

[@martingazdag7570]

This man amazes me in so many ways that i thought this level was impossible. yet here we are. my jaw on the floor.

[@houleronald]

This is the BEST serie.

[@eboracum]

This video was fascinating and entertaining, thank you for making it.

[@__sunspot23]

You can literally see the host getting more and more intimidated by his own lack of accomplishments in comparison to Nathan. Its funny because it is in large part due to this type of behavior that many people dont accomplish much in life. They are too busy trying to deal with the anxiety induced by comparing themselves and what they have with that of others. This distracts you from being as curious as is need for a life like Nathans.

[@morrismutunga7622]

This is such great advice.

[@shakhaoathossain5032]

"Let's science the shit out of this pizza" 😂😂!! Cto seems to live his life with higher sense of countiblities so he can experience his consciousness to the fullest

[@alexi2460]

Totally enjoyed this. Good deep dive into our talented gems.

[@theailateshow368]

Hello world is the best show in the world

[@mozzalex]

Ashlee, I hope you read this. This was a fantastic video. Keep up the awesome job you're doing!

[@AshleeVanceHelloWorld]

Thx so much!

[@julian.kollataj]

It's interesting to see how Nathan gets so into the technicalities of different subjects and produces great results. Looking at his stature and health state, I wonder what would come out of investigating and understanding his health just as greatly as he does with those "external challenges", and applying his curious mind to his health...You can only do as much and go as far as you're well and not dead, in the end...

[@Riggoten]

I'm sure he has a team working on that one as well. 😏 All jokes aside, it really is mind-boggling to see such a brilliant mind not take proper care of their body. Especially since carrying excess weight means less blood flow to the brain.

[@ttbalog]

This guy is so crazy that I envy his life 🤣

[@bummers]

Suggested title: Meet the most curious human Bloomberg managed to find.

[@myce-liam]

Hello World is such a great series... Thank you Ashlee you always make me laugh 🤣

[@mikeshafer]

This guy is AWESOME.

[@imvarda]

I like the host (Ashlee Vance) of this show, seen him a few times now. Kind of Anthony Bourdain vibes.

[@AshleeVanceHelloWorld]

thx so much!!

[@GarinKilpatrick]

This video is truly awesome.

[@manttest]

Good interview

[@CausticLemons7]

Ashlee is back! I really love this series and look forward to every episode.

[@MarkStensland-np1xf]

I love this man so much, I read the entire Modernist Pizza tome trying not to cry about how New Mexican Pizza was not included:(

[@christinearmington]

Absolutely delightful 🥰🤩

[@CoreyChambersLA]

Now that's dedication. Whipping dinosaur tails it is!

[@RockandBox]

He brings faith back in human kind. We need more people like Nathan. Also, I want to share a pizza in Naples or Rome with him! 2023 goal!

[@jouleSansLoi]

It's more fun eating the pizza.

[@lstephenkariuki460]

nice video and nice editing

There are people who were "born to die"... and there are people who were "born to live". Big applause for you.

I moved to Canada from Russia. I love it hear. Bought a huge house with Cash.

[@nickjunes]

Yes curious combined with having a great background and foundation to succeed in life. The rest of us have to do our exploring through the computer.

[@magesRNTcute]

For someone so curious, I can't help but wonder about whether or not he partakes in psychedelics - if not they're made for him.

[@vice.nor.virtue]

Oh heck yeah, I can tell this guy has taken a ton of mushrooms and made a fair few ayahuasca trips to Peru.

[@unbiased1]

Nope! People like that want to have control over their brain, not lose it.

[@vice.nor.virtue]

The reflective particulates present in the atmosphere are usually called pollution. It is understood, via peer reviewed studies, that when global temperatures rose during the pandemic, that short term rise was directly tied to the lessened human activity which was producing less atmospheric pollution. However, in the wider perspective, Nathan seems to have ignored that Earth's magnetosphere is currently 15-20% less powerful than it was in 1900. That rate of decline is currently accelerating at a rate of at least 5% per decade. The magnetosphere is the Earth's ultimate armor against cosmic radiation. Without this protection life on our planet would cease to exist as we know it. Adding pollution to our atmosphere and/or oceans is a band-aid on a substantive problem which we have absolutely zero control over. That so-called "answer" offered is a short term possible solution that will probably result in unintended, negative consequential damages. Who truly believes that there can be a positive outcome from intentional pollution...even if you call it geoengineering?

[@rogue13131313]

Could have saved this dude all kinds of time with a menu from Round Table pizza....now that is some good sh!t

Pizza is not "the most popular dish on earth", rice is. Eggs are number two. Pizza is tasty, though.

[@brentltr]

Love the videos, but $450K CAD house in Vancouver? Lol. A quick google search shows that the average home price is around $1.3Million and the median is around $700K. Then factor in the trash wages in Vancouver...

Making the sun 1 % dimmer does not make the trapped heat 1 % less, its makes it 1/100 if my math is right.

This guy can't solve his own obesity, but he thinks he can save the world from the sun.

and nothing about mm waves and how to drill deep in to the for ever hot earth why not ?

Listen... I'm all for some tasty mf'n pizza... NO MATTER what it takes or how it's prepared! But cutting the pizza with a pair of scissors?! I do not compute!

hows giving ideas to the world less efficient? it called open source, it lets people focus on different things instead spending capital and time and human resources to work on old ideas that locked behind a patent.

Nathan way more genius than billy I think billy need to talk more with nathan, so billy can spend better their gates foundation money

[@tplewe]

Intellectual Ventures invents stuff and the big tech companies try to steal it? Hardly. I was one of the first small app developers who got legally threatened by this patent troll for having downloadable content in my app, because Mhrvold had purchased some ancient fax machine patent from a defunct company and tried to use it to extort anyone who made an app with downloadable content. Wish you would have addressed this rather than letting him lie about where all his money comes from. He's dishonest and uses his money to prey on others without his resources.

[@kasdimfer5156]

i didnt get the climate change part.
